Sing karaoke instead of complaining about work at this happy hour spot

Tired of the same old happy hour? Try pairing your post-work mojito with some ’90s era Britney or a little Donna Summer disco — sung by you, of course. At PlugIN Karaoke, you become the star of your own show while savoring internationally inspired bites and creative craft cocktail in your own private room. Whether you prefer to unleash your inner Adele or watch from the couch, it sure beats dollar well drinks at the dive bar next door.

The deal

PlugIN serves a special happy hour menu Mondays – Fridays from 4-7 p.m., with half off cocktails, beer and wine. Dishes range in price from $5-$10.

Something to sip

Made with Bacardi dragon berry rum, fresh strawberries, blackberries, mint leaves and lime juice, the Dragon Mojito ($13) is a refreshing and fruity take on the classic.

Other sips

If you’re looking for a little more kick, pull opt for the On Fire Margarita ($13) which blends Sauza Blue Tequila, triple sec, agave jalapeno fuse, fresh lime juice, brown sugar and a splash of orange juice. Or keep things simple with the Dancing Mule ($13), made with Absolut vodka, simple syrup, fresh strawberries, lime juice and ginger beer.

Something to savor

PlugIN’s menu draws inspiration from all around the globe. We like their PlugIN Roll ($14), a sushi roll made with tempura shrimp, blackened ahi tuna, salmon, cucumber, avocado, cream cheese, spicy eel sauce and tempura flakes. The Let’s Dance Fish Tacos ($13) are served in a soft flour tortilla stuffed with pico de gallo and tangy slaw, drizzled with a house-made cilantro sour cream.
